IN THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Papa Scholz Interviewed BY the
Crown Princes of Germany.
Papa Scholz is now national if not all
International celebrity, as instance the
following remarks from the New York
Herald In which he is Cursorily men,
toned:
The big steamship Trave of the north
German Lloyd line, which arrived from
Bremen yesterday morning, sliced off
fully twenty feet of her pier in HObOken
In the most artistic manner.
Not passenger was hurt, and some OF
them did not even know OF the accident
until all was over. AS for the steamer,
she was not in the least injured, save
for little paint scraped from her huge
bow by the broken timbers.
The vessel was going very slow, but
she cut through the pier in diagonal
direction as though it had been cheese.
There was not the slightest panic. the
ships officers say, during or after the
accident, and Herr Adolf SChOlz, of San
Antonio, Texas, who was a saloon pas
senger, declared that ii "vas tam
shame die way die afternoon bapers lied
abOudt dot collision, for dose Trave
could smash forty docks and nod veel it
al all"
While the Trave was of southampton,
August llth, she was visited and fully
inspected by the following party: The
Crown Princess of Germany, with all her
daughters; the Duchess OF Edinburgh,
Count SeCkendOrtf, Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg, and others.
After an inspection of nearly an hours
duration the Princesses were conducted
to the first saloon, where refreshments
were served. The Crown Princess was
informed by Count SeckendOrti that the
Hon. AdOlph SchOlz, a renowned hunt
ing expert and explorer, was among the
passengers, and, having met him pre-
viOusly, she had him called, and entered
into a prolonged conversation with him,
during which she remarked that the
Trave was the finest steamer she had
ever seen. Several the Crown Princess
was heard saying how much she desired
to make trip to America, to which
Captain WilligerOd jOkingly remarked
that there was plenty of room for the
royal party, and that he offered the hos
pitality OF the ship for the FUND trip.
Herr SChOlZ also added his impOrtuni-
ties, but the royal engagements ahead
would not permit of this.

BISHOP ELLIOTT DEAD.
The Beloved EpiSCopalian Passes
Away at SeWanee, Tenn.

The Beloved EpisCopalian Passes
Away at Sewanee, Tenn.
A telegram received in this city this
morning conveys the sad intelligence Of
the death, last night at Z o'clock, In
Sewanee, Tenn, of Bishop r. W. b. e.
lott, of the Episcopal diocese of western
Texas, and whose home up to the early
part last spring was in this city for a
continuous number OF years. Bishop Ell
lott was appointed bishop of this diocese
in 1871 and since his prOtectOrate has
made himself greatly beloved by his
friends, members and non-members
Last spring he left for Europe and then
Travelled through Palestine and the Holy
Land and in Egypt, and it is thought it
WAS while along the Nile he contracted
the malarial fever, which has at last
ended his earthly career. He leaves a
wife and several children, one OF which,
Stephen II. Elliott. was a graduate last
year of the West Point Military Cadet
school. His family were with him in
his last moments. The remains will
probably be taken to his fathers old
home in Georgia and there laid beside
that of his fathers grave. The EpisCO-
pal church of st. Marks, of this city,
will take action as to fitting respects to
be paid his memory.

or the many curious things that come
within the optical scope OF a daily news
gatherer, and particularly of those who
haunt the police court from day TO day,
none has challenged WoLderment more
than scene before Recorder Adam this
mOrning-a person arrested as q SUSPECT
GUS character, and who could lay claim
to neither gender Of human sex. Long
about the moon of night" when the
whirl OF business on SOIedad street had
given way TO quiet, an officer arrested
one REM Sandiel for being a suspicious
character, and his appearance would
well warrant the conclusion. REM was
taken to the bat cave, and there ques'
toned relative to his singular makeup.
II am neither man nor woman, but
God made me so and can't help il !"
This was the laGonic, and possibly
truthful explanation, he gave for those
two midnight eyes, so feminine in ap-
pearance; for those long banged" locks
of hair, Just kinky enough TO suggest tho
presence of negro blood in the owners
body, but hair which, If seen on the
head of a "sweet SIXTEEN" would cause
no wonderment. RENTS hips are broad
and well developed, and "he" possesses
pair OF legs SO plump ard shapely as
would make vain the fluttering ballad
dancer.
"His" locomotion is neither that Of
either gender, but he has a strictly fem
mime foot, which could easily hide itself
in No.2
you have heard the charge. Are
you guilty or not guilty?" said Recorder
Adam. After brief study she" de-
clared "he" was not. The officers told
what they knew about the enigma and
Anton gave an official glance at the
gew-gsw of Reni's glossy hair and tar
ny brown skin. He was a suspicious
character, in fact, and whether caused
by nature or design, matters not to An
ton Adam. "Twenty-fiVe dollars" en-
phaticslly said the judge, and this Gu
rious being was ushered behind prison
bars.
Strange, isn't 1t, that old Dame Ma
ture, In the construction of man, should
forget that important stroke which has
destined her son to disgrace, humiliation
and prison! But stranger still that the
more favored, though fashioned by the
same God, should condemn the unfortu.
nate for misfortune. The LIGHT is not
authority on such matters, but suggests
that Anton deal leniently with all such
subjects. He might have been "built
that way" himself.

The Ram Trade.

The ram trade has fairly opened at
San Antonio, and while the demand bids
fair to be large. to Judge by the way
they are coming in, it will be fully sup
piled. 1t is noteworthy that the sheep
men are more particular in regard to the
character of the rams, than formerly,
and those arriving are uniformly good.
Size is lsterly regarded as Of great i'm
pOrtance in the selection OF rams, and
the little wrinkly greasy rams that were
SO much sought after few years ago,
can hardly be sold here now, at any
price. The flocks are reported in good
condition, and the fall clip bids fair to
reach an average as to length, strength
and condition. Shearing will begin
about the 18th of September.

A HEARTLESS MOTHER.
The Way She Treats Her Children in
Order That She May Have
Pleasure,


Order That She May Have
Pleasure.
There is a certain woman who goes to
the springs every Sunday, who is sup
posed to be a widow and who does not
bear the best of character. Last Sun
day she took her children to the springs:
one was boy between Z and years
old, the other girl about or years
Of age, and the third a baby that could
not walk. At dusk she took the chill
dren to the car, and seated them in it,
the babe in the centre of the two older
children. The other passengers were
astonished to hear the woman say,
"There now, you go straight home, and
mind you don't lose that purse as you did
last Sunday" Then she turned on her
heel and walked on her way back to the
garden. The elder boy, called ont in
distress, "mamms, mamma" but she
needed not their cry. All the children
were evidently scared and distressed.
The passengers sOothed them as best
they could, and were loud In the denun-
Citations of their heartless mother. At
Soledad street the children alighted and
the two elder ones carried the babe be-
tween them on their way to their mis-
cradle home.
According to accounts the woman
treats the children in a most heartless
way, and 1t is pity that there is no
means OF putting an end to her cruelty.

Capt. g. II. Merritt, another of our
oldest and most prominent citizens, will
scarcely survive the day, if his present
condition does not change for the better.
He is very weak and emaciated, and
despite the best medical skill, is sinking
slowly down to his last resting place.
Since becoming a commitment of the
Catholic church, he has made confession,
received dissolution and the extreme
JUNCTION, the last solemn sacrament of
this church has been administered him.
